Halle Berry hates wearing too much make-up — because it makes her like a man in drag.

The actress — who has a child, Nahla Ariela, with partner Gabriel Aubry — says when it comes to slap, less is more.

“Less is more,” said the Catwoman star. “When I wear too much, I feel like a man in drag. I much prefer to be low maintenance.”

Berry, 43, revealed earlier this year how she uses the internet to find friends.

“I never went so far as a date,” she said in May. “But I’ve gone online and pretended to be someone else, in an attempt to have some anonymity.

“I’ve tried, many times, to have a normal conversation when celebrity wasn’t a part of it. Sometimes it worked and at others it became a little weird.

“The reason I did it was I wanted to remember what it was like to have a real, honest exchange with someone and to be treated normally.”

I have added the screen captures of Halle’s appereance on The Jay Leno Show earlier this week.

Television Appearances: The Jay Leno Show – 17th September 2009

The speculation is over.

When a svelte Halle Berry walked onto Jay Leno’s stage Thursday, the host told her she looked terrific, to which she replied: “You know, thank you for that, Jay, because that must mean that pregnancy rumors can be put to bed!”

Sources at The Jay Leno Show taping tell PEOPLE that Berry, wearing a low-cut, short black dress and black thigh-high boots, also told Leno with a laugh, “I was getting a complex! Because I was like, I’ve got to stop with the burgers or something!”

Berry, 43, and Gabriel Aubry, 34, welcomed their first baby, Nahla Ariela, in March 2008. The couple, who have been together since 2005 when they met while shooting a Versace ad, have made no secret of their desire for more kids.

In February, Aubry told PEOPLE Nahla “needs a sibling.” The model, who comes from a family of eight kids, added, “I believe in big families.” And in March, Berry said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she was ready to have a second child.

Berry was another in a series of high-profile guests for Leno in this inaugural week of his 10 p.m. show. In addition to fending off pregnancy rumors, Berry told anecdotes about Nahla and meeting Aubry. Simply put, Berry gushed, “My daughter is fantastic.”

I’m looking at my guide currently and to my surprise I see that Halle will be a guest on The Jay Leno Show tonight! The sketch show airs at 10 p. EST on NBC – so please check your local TV Guide channel for the station and time!

Sorry for not updating more here, am so busy with my other sites, school and general real life. Added 3 photoshoots to the gallery.

By choice or not, Halle Berry has stayed on the outskirts of Hollywood’s radar in the last few years, appearing in just two relatively low-profile films, with a third indie still awaiting release. The folks behind the “Twilight” franchise, conversely, are at the epicenter of the pop culture zeitgeist.

Variety is reporting that the thriller “Dark Tide” will have Berry and two “Twilight” producers, Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, joining forces. Nothing’s set yet — the Oscar-winner is still in those mysterious “advance talks” — but if everything works out, Berry will sign on to play a diving instructor who suffers a near-fatal accident with a great white shark and then decides — screw it! — to head back to the ocean.

The script comes from newbie Amy Sorlie, a screenwriter and journalist who — if her Twitter account is an accurate representation — is a committed beach bum based in Los Angeles. Clark Johnson, a veteran director on TV shows like “The Shield” and “The Wire” with a few action/thriller flicks under his belt, will take on helming duties.

It’s an indisputable fact that Berry hasn’t been in a watchable big screen flick since “X2: X-Men United” in 2003. And there are those stern folks among us who believe the unpardonable sin that was “Catwoman” should require the actress to go door-to-door with apologies and refunds before she gets another job again.

In the absence of much hard fact to go on for “Dark Tide,” I’ll say this: sharks are scary, water is scary and there are a ton of cool flicks focusing on one or both. “Jaws” (obviously), “Abyss” (James Cameron underwater with silver shape-shifting aliens!), “Sphere” (Dustin Hoffman underwater with a gold mind-reading alien thing!), “Open Water” (never see this if you ever plan on going scuba diving) and “Titanic” (spoiler… Leo dies! The ship sinks!).

Okay, I’m kidding about that last one. But! Sharks and the open ocean have delighted and/or freaked us out before, and who knows if “Dark Tide” can pull off a similar feat? At the very least, I’d be more than happy to see Berry reestablish herself as a Hollywood A-lister, if only because of all the joy, however fleeting, she brought to all of us during that one memorable scene in “Swordfish.”

…over a false alarm.

Law enforcement sources tell us a few of L.A.’s finest burned rubber to Halle Berry‘s pad moments ago, after something tripped an alarm on the property.

We’re told cops quickly figured out everything was kosher and have already left the scene.

So no need to worry, the hottest mom on the planet remains safe and sound.

Halle Berry is in advanced talks to star in action-thriller “Dark Tide” for helmer Clark Johnson (“S.W.A.T.”).

“Twilight” producers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey will shepherd “Dark” via their Temple Hill banner.

Social Capital Films is arranging financing for the $15 million-$20 million pic. Company’s Martin Shore and Christopher Tuffin produce along with Tax Credit Finance’s Matthew Chausse and Plum Pictures’ Celine Rattray.

Project, penned by Amy Sorlie, concerns a diving instructor who returns to the deep after a near-fatal incident with a Great White shark. “Dark” is set to lense in South Africa later this year.

The Steel Co.’s John Baca exec produces, as does lit manager Sukee Chew, who helped develop the script.

IM Global will handle international sales.
